      Roane Co Birth
      Solomon Taylor, 10/13/1882, Geary District, D. Slayers & Alvirna Taylor, reported by mother

      There are people who say Elvira Casto Taylor is the mother of Solomon, and that she married a Mr Sayre before marrying James Taylor. However, I believe Solomon is probably Solomon Lafayette Taylor, whose mother was Melvina Taylor. There is a tree on Ancestry that shows the family, and the following research seems to agree.
